A pitcher hurls a 0.145-kg baseball past a batter at 39.5 m/s (= 88 mi/h). Find the resistive force acting on the ball at this speed.

A baseball is dropped from a 28 m high building.
(a) Calculate the speed of the ball just before it hits the ground ignoring air resistance.

(b) Calculate the air drag force that acts on a baseball traveling at this speed. Give your answer as a fraction of the gravitational force that acts on the ball. (In reality the speed of the baseball will be slower because we cannot ignore air resistance for the entire fall.)
R = multiplied by mg?
